Mosaic Monday: Flowers and Father's Day

It's been a lovely Father's Day here today, with lots of love and great gifts. I don't often write about personal things here, but I just wanted to share my lovely day with you. I really like Father's Day better than Mother's Day. Don't get me wrong -- I love the attention and gifts I get, but I really love to see my husband's eyes light up when the kids cook him breakfast, and bring out the gifts. :)

The first picture of us all was taken on Block Island, probably around 1993. My daughter was hell on wheels that year. We actually had to put a harness on her for the ferry ride. Yes, we were those parents. The second photo was taken in San Francisco two years ago. It's fun when your grown (or almost grown) children still like to go on vacation with you. :)

I had to include some flower photos, just because that's what I love to shoot and my archives are getting rather full of unpublished work. And you all expect flowers from me, right? ;)

By the way, my husband's t-shirt in the first picture reads: "Why? Because I'm your father!" Wishing all your fathers a wonderful day -- filled with love! xoxo

Nice photos of your family Mary. We are lucky to be close to both of our girls and families. We have vacationed with the youngest many times and for the first time this past January, with the oldest. The flowers for us are nice; I have a viburnum of similar colour that scents the whole back yard.Judith

Lovely photos of you and your family and Happy Father's Day to your husband! What can I say about your gorgeous flower images, as always, they are exceptional and exquisite! With such sweet and photogenic subjects, I'm sure it is a pleasure for you and a gift for us!

A harness is fine in my book...anything to ensure their safety! :) Glad that you enjoyed your day. My son was away for Army camp for two weeks and got back last evening...the kids were thrilled to have him home and give him all of their little handmade pictures etc. Seems like it was just yesterday that HE was making little pics for his dad : )

Thank you for the trip down memory lane Mary. It is fun to look back - but where did all those years go! We love travelling with our grown children...and our grandchildren! Happy Father's Day to all the American Dads. We don't have Father's Day in Australia until August - only a week from my Dad's birthday - it has always been rotten timing for us!Love the light in the tree blossoms photo Mary. Have a wonderful week, and thanks for hosting Mosaic Monday again - the perfect start to my week.

My first time here, Mary! Many thanks for giving us the opportunity to share our creations! I'm also learning more about mosaics/collages this way, too! Happy Father's Day to your husband!! Yes, it's been a wonderful day for my husband, too. We've both lost our own fathers, so he's the one getting most all the loving attention on Father's Day, now! I'm glad we have a special day to celebrate those wonderful men in our lives ... ah, but we should celebrate them every day! They sure are some pretty special people! I love your collage/mosaic images! Flowers are my passion ... I have quite a bit of unpublished work, myself! And such sweet photos of your family ... they do grow fast, don't they! My son is 28 now, and I still don't know where the years have gone! They seem to have flown, but I'm so very grateful that we enjoy a closeness with him and his wife, as well! Enjoy your week! :)

You always share the most beautiful floral arrangements, from simple to elegant, lovely all the while. It is so wonderful having old images to go back to look at and then see how the family has changed and grown. I am glad that your husby enjoyed his day. I think it very nice to celebrate our loved ones.

You Have a lovely family Mary. My how much children grow! My own being 21 31 and 33, were babies just yesterday. Thank you so much for hosting and have a lovely week. I'm off to check on all the lovely people who've linked. :)
